Öijared (Gamla)

The Gamla course is located on a peninsula between lakes Mjörn and Sävelången and it’s one of three layouts available for play at the Öijared Resort. Configured as two returning nines, the layout extends to just under 6,000 metres.

Highlight holes on this tree-lined layout include the slightly left doglegging par four 5th (with a tight fairway and greenside bunkering) and the 355-metre 9th, which bends left from the tee to a heavily sand-protected green close to the clubhouse.

On the back nine, there are interesting short par fours at both the 14th and 18th holes but the most memorable hole on this loop might well be the 107-metre 12th, the shortest of the par threes on the scorecard, which plays a lot harder than its stroke index of 18 might suggest.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
